Lambda Lyrae (λ Lyr) is a 5th magnitude star in the constellation Lyra, approximately 1,100 light years away from Earth. It is an orange bright giant star of the spectral type K2.5II. It is much brighter and larger, yet cooler, than our Sun.[8] The star is about 6.3 solar masses in mass and has a diameter over a hundred times that of the sun's.
